Clinking glasses, chitchat, and the aromas of local fare from Freeport's finest chefs fill the air at the Hilton Garden Inn, which hosts the 2013 Flavors of Freeport presented by FreeportUSA. In the hotel's outdoor courtyard, thirsty guests can visit the Freeport Ice Bar, which offers hot coffee, samples of barbecue, and glowing beverages near toasty fires and glistening ice sculptures. A martini luge sends elixirs across icy planes and into waiting glasses while a soundtrack of tunes emanates straight from an onsite DJ.
Inside, some of Freeport's top epicureans showcase their palate-pleasing dishes during the Chef's Signature Series. A collection of wine, beer, and spirits gathered from Maine's purveyors slakes thirsts as guests sample an assortment of culinary offerings. Guests can cast votes for their favorite flavor entry and table display. Door-prizes raffles are also available. Event attendees also can place silent bids on pieces from the Freeport Art & Music Festival to benefit the Freeport Food Pantry. Both events only host those aged 21 or older.

At each bowling center, balls hurtle down smooth, polished lanes as LCD screens keep track of scores and shimmering party lights illuminate the faces of determined bowlers. After lacing up some slide-enabling shoes and clearing the gutters of deciduous pins, bowlers set their sights on toppling 10-pin clusters. Carpets bedecked with psychedelic swirls lead to shelves stocked with neon-colored balls, which proffer their pin-busting talents to bowlers of various sizes. Fingers can warm up by mashing buttons in an arcade full of entrancing video games or bench-pressing french fries at the onsite grill and pub.

Frisbees zoom toward metal baskets as players await the rattling of chains that signifies their disc has hit its target. This scene plays out year-round at Dragon Field Disc Golf's three Maine locations, each of which challenges disc slingers of all abilities with 18 or more holes.
Home to Maine's largest Professional Disc Golf Association tournament, the Dragan Field course unfurls an 18-hole layout for disc golfers of all stripes. The holes range from 170 to 479 feet in length, giving players an opportunity to flaunt their precision and long-tossing skills. At Enman Field's 18-hole Beast course, disc golfers test their mettle against a challenging layout that includes two holes that measure longer than 600 feet. On the same site, the Beauty course plots a more beginner-friendly, 27-hole path. Rounding out Dragon Field's trio of courses, Topsham Fair rolls out an 18-hole layout of tee-to-basket fun. At each site, Dragon Field rents out discs and offers private and group lessons.

Windward Farm owner Sandra Davis brands her sylvan piece of Maine as a friendly and welcoming environment for beginning to intermediate riders to practice whatever riding discipline they wish. Lesson horses make for suitable learning animals as students learn to command their saddled friends in the insulated 72’x200’ indoor arena or the 100’x220’ outdoor arena.
The farm also hosts camps during the summer, when youngsters aged 7–16 descend on the grounds to learn and have fun under the close watch of highly qualified counselors who make sure campers don’t practice unsafe riding technique or try to sneak horses in their minivans at the end of the day. During their time on the farm, children learn equestrian tidbits such as grooming and tacking up their horse as well as efficient riding, and they spend the rest of their time making arts and crafts projects and playing games.
